HYPERREALITY, THE QUESTION OF AGENCY AND THE PHENOMENON OF REALITY TELEVISION:
CHUNG CHIN-YI

"We have seen how television assaults our subjectivity and de-centers us. Hyperreality threatens to dissolve subjectivity and to control minds; we are subjects of domination by the image and the politics that are encoded within it. The obscene and the spectacle of insignificance finally triumphs in these reality series. This also threatens to undermine agency as real life and television dissolve into one another and the line between hyperreality and reality collapses. The only agency we are assured in these situations is that of omnipresence as a voyeur, but this is an impotent and passive subjectivity. However, the path out of this radical de-centredness, as Derrida argues, is an awareness and vigilance towards the politics of memory and to politicize events alternately in a way that conceptualizes the image and thought. Our only hope for reclaiming agency hence, is a critical awareness and distance from the image that Derrida argues for."

Typo..TPTB..want a blurring 'of' reality and non-reality.
It's easier to run false flags.
The masses..are being conditioned to accept..'enhanced/ altered' results via reality television.
The people don't know what they are seeing or care.

Living in a cubicle , being over-worked , coming home tired and still having to look after the kids , one will crash on the sofa with a microwave-diner , a drink and the 300 TV channells of mostly High-Definition Garbage .

No time to get informed , no time to write to politicians never mind finding out who they are Before voting .

A wonderful set up to milk a semi-intelligent specie !

The icing on the future : it has been determined that pesticides reduce the IQ , a perfect society to be abused :

And you expect those poor-saps to rise against electronic voting , deceiving Media , nuclear power , Fiat currencies , pesticides and wars ??
They can't even Protect the very few better-leaders that made it to the party status , see Assassinations .

Japan is a process:
not Order from Chaos
or promoting Balance
or balancing inputs diverse,
not homeostatic
or isodynamic
but nucleocratic
and closer to manic or worse.
Having sipped from the chalice
of nuclear malice
they're unbalanced and cascading fast,
with reactor cores crawling
and half-lives health-mauling
they'll either phase-shift or crash.
